Answer:
Sediments are used to provide the proxies to understand the environmental changes as, the sediments are formed by the activity of the weathering from the wind, glacier and the water. The different weathering agent and other transportation agent are different types of the mark over the sediments that help in the study of the past environment.
Answer:
<u><em>Gravity </em></u>
Explanation:
Basically, the sun keeps all the planets in the orbital motion by gravitational alignment. Just as the earth and moon have a similar gravitational pull towards each other. Galileo gave the idea of Copernicus theory. The theory also follows the models of the geocentric model of Ptolemy. Stars are at a fixed position from the sun and far away from the sun. As compared to the earth which is nearby and rotates on its axis from right to left.
There is a large period of time in which the French and Portuguese colonized Africa. The natives took on those languages, which influenced the culture.
Answer:
Options (1), (2) and (3)
Explanation:
Alfred Wegener was the person who first invented the continental drift theory. He observed that the continents move from one place to another with respect to a fixed point. He put forward many pieces of evidence but he was unable to explain the main mechanism that is responsible for these motion of continents.
The pieces of evidence that were given by Alfred Wegener supporting the continental drift theory are-
(a) The continents move slowly and continuously from one place to another and the edges of these continents perfectly match with the other.
(b) Similar fossil assemblages were found in currently separated continents.
(c) Similar rock types are also found and suggested that the continents were once all together forming a huge landmass which is known as the Pangaea.
Later this theory was modified into a more simple and universally accepted theory which is commonly known as the Plate tectonic theory.
Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).
